They're "testing" it. How do you think vaccines are made?

Why wouldn't they be used to doing it if it's their profession... Do you ask plumbers if they are 'used' to fixing leaks?

Taking blood is entirely different and depends on the patient as to how difficult or easy it is to find a viable vein.

You weren't discussing training random people, you specifically referred to nurses and alluded to some general incompetence.

They’ve not had time to properly test them individually ( long term effects ) so pardon my apprehension when I learn they are already mixing two together

Just try reading between the lines .. or maybe I just didn’t explain my apprehension well enough ...

I’ve explained my stance since then so either move on or just forget what I said ..

To test them.

They're not randomly mixing unknown substances together and injecting the population.

No I don't want to 'read between the lines' you've discredited a whole profession due to 2 incidents. It's not right or fair to do that. I'll forget it only due to the fact it was entirely nonsensical.

They're talking about training people specifically to give the vaccine because, despite what some seem to believe, the rest of the health service hasn't (and can't) grind to a halt for Covid. They can't just snatch a tonne of nurses away from their usual jobs to give Covid vaccines because they still have a job to do like at any other time...

I understand that but it does mean that thousands of inexperienced people will prob be giving the injections and that could lead to problems.

It could lead to problems but trying to stretch current already overworked nursing staff to do their own work plus an immunisation project on this scale could lead to further problems.

I am sure any problems would be minimal though zizu. I understand your concerns and anxieties especially after the couple of errors you have experienced in the past and you won't be forced to have it if you are too fearful but I am sure it will be safe :love:

the process of giving an injection is very simple, it doesn't need much training. I was taught to give injections years ago, and it is literally a 5 minute exercise. I then proceeded to give a relative injections every day without issue

I injected myself during some treatment I was having and also had to inject my mum was she was sick. I agree, its fairly straightforward.

all those who apply to do ithe vaccinations are all background checked too

user104658 14-12-2020 06:58 AM

Depends, its a bit more complicated than that really. The process of giving an injection (at least into the muscle, so you don't have to find a vein) isn't that difficult - although you do have to make sure it ISN'T in a vein as A) it'll be ineffective and B) you'll cause bleeding and heavy bruising.

Dosage won't be an issue either as they'll be packaged as individual doses, most likely.

However what might be an issue - especially with Pfizer - is that some of these vaccines are li'l snowflakes and need to be handled properly or they won't work as effectively (i.e. Some won't work at all). They won't harm you, but they also won't immunise you. However that's fairly easily solved by having a few experienced staff in charge of handling and distribution, and the less experienced staff just doing the stabbin'.

user104658 14-12-2020 06:59 AM

Also when you're talking of experience giving an injection... They'll be doing so many that they'll have like a year's worth of experience after the first couple of days :joker:.

The first time I had to inject myself, they were subcutaneous injections in my stomach. I hit a vein every time I think. By the end of the time I looked like I'd been hit with a very big bat, it was hard to find an area that wasn't bruised. The second time, I managed perfectly and had no bruising at all. I found the injections into muscle were far less likely to bruise. :laugh:

It's good to be cautious, but some of the world's best are involved in making these Vaccines against Covid so I think it's best to try and stay optimistic that there won't be long term effects.

Covid vaccinations will start being given to patients from GP surgeries in England as part of the next stage of the rollout of the programme.

GP practices in more than 100 locations will receive their first deliveries of the vaccine later, the NHS said.

Some will start vaccinating on Monday afternoon, with the majority getting under way on Tuesday.

Moderna vax has been approved in the US

Kizzy 19-12-2020 01:08 PM

I'm hoping my mum didn't miss out on her first dose because her practice notified patients for the 200 doses they had ( yrs thats all) by text!!

She doesn't have a mobile.
